Marketing Information |
The 02R96VCM is a new revolution in a line
of production consoles that has evolved over the years in response to
user needs become the de facto standard for production consoles: the
02R, debuting in 1995 and a fundamental reason for Yamaha's 2007
Technical Grammy Award, 2002's 02R96, and the 02R96 Version 2 released
in 2004.
Featuring 56 input channels and 18 mixing busses, the 02R96VCM is backed
by the impressive processing power of a custom Yamaha DSP7 LSI and
offers the same array of robust channel functions as the DM2000 on its
inputs and outputs. Its "selected channel" system fuses the
controllability of a digital mixer with the feel of an analog desk for
fast, intuitive operation when you need it. The analog input stages on
the 02R96VCM feature head amps descended from those of the DM2000,
developed with the input of engineers from around the world to provide
transparent sound that's perfect for the professional domain.
Want more? Take a look at the 5 new plug-in packages that give you both
space and creativity in the production workplace. Or consider the
digital domain where EQ, compressor, tape saturation and guitar effector
VCM plug-ins offer the warmth and depth of analog circuitry. The
02R96VCM also boasts the outstanding REV-X reverb algorithm introduced
in the SPX2000. What's more, it comes equipped with iSSP technology that
makes creating realistic sound fields easy, giving you functionality
within the console that would otherwise require outboard effects.
The 02R96VCM also offers a high degree of integration with Digital Audio
Workstations, and is compatible with both Windows and Macintosh versions
of Studio Manager Version 2, allowing your PC and console to work
together seamlessly. Certified to the global THX pm3 standard for
surround equipment, it features four MY card slots, whose open
architecture design provides compatibility with a slew of I/O formats.

Features |
- A Complete Revamp of the Legendary
02R
After its release in August 1995, the 02R rapidly became the
de-facto digital console standard for musicians and engineers around
the globe. The 02R96 picks up where the 02R left off, implementing
the most advanced digital audio technology developed and refined in
parallel with development of the top-of-the-line DM2000 console. The
result is that the 02R96 surpasses the 02R in every respect: audio
quality, processing power, and DAW integration capability. Where the
02R had 21 motor faders, the 02R96 has 25. Other additions include
recorder control keys, user defined keys, and dramatically improved
operability overall. But since it has the same footprint as the 02R,
it can be used as a direct replacement without requiring major
infrastructure changes.
- Precise 24-bit/96-kHz Audio and
High-performance Head Amps
Advanced custom DSP7 LSIs feature 32-bit internal processing (58-bit
accumulator) at extremely high speed. Full functionality is provided
when mixing all 56 channels at 96 kHz. All analog inputs and outputs
— including the 16 microphone/line inputs — employ precision 24-bit
A/D and D/A converters for an outstanding 110-dB dynamic range.
Top-performance head amplifiers provide precise, uncolored
pre-amplification prior to A/D conversion, and optimum circuit
configurations and parts for all stages of the design were
determined through repeated listening tests by some of the best
"ears" in the industry.
- 56-input 18-bus Mix Capacity at 96
kHz
Although it maintains the same compact desk-top dimensions as the
02R, the 02R96 offers generous mixing capacity with up to 56
simultaneous inputs. All 56 input channels include four-band
parametric EQ, gating, compression/limiting, and up to 453
milliseconds of delay with variable feedback. What's more, all of
this functionality is available at 96 kHz. The output section also
offers plenty of versatility with 18 buses: 8 group buses, 8
auxiliary buses and a stereo bus. Group buses 1 through 6 also
function as surround buses, and a Bus to Stereo function allows
sound-reinforcement type sub-mixing as well as easy downmixing of
5.1 or 3-1 surround to stereo. Of the 8 auxiliary buses, 1 through 6
can be used as surround effect sends, and there's a "Unity" function
that automatically sets the auxiliary buses to nominal (0 dB) level,
so they can be used as additional group buses.
- Powerful Channel Functions with
Flexible Control and Patching
All 56 input channels, 8 group buses, 8 auxiliary buses, and stereo
bus feature powerful mixing functions including gate and compressor
dynamics processing, input attenuation, four-band parametric EQ with
a choice of Type I and Type II algorithms, channel inserts, delay,
surround and stereo panning, and phase. Easy-access dedicated
controllers are provided for routing, auxiliary send, dynamics,
stereo and surround panning, and EQ. Control data is graphically
displayed via the LCD screen, and can be saved in "libraries" for
easy recall whenever needed. All inputs, outputs, insert patch
points, direct outputs, and effect sends and returns can be freely
patched to configure the system as required via graphical on-screen
"digital patching" displays: for example, you could patch one input
to multiple channels, or assign the signal from one bus to multiple
outputs. The encoders associated with each fader can be used to make
input patch and direct out settings, and you can save your patch
settings as library data for recall when needed.
- Four Advanced Multi-effect
Processors Include Surround Effects
The 02R96's four internal effect processors deliver full
functionality and performance even when the console is running at 96
kHz. New effect programs such as multi-band compression and
surround-compatible 5.1 reverb and 5.1 modulation augment the
console's processing capabilities, and can be used in a send/return
loop or as inserts effects.
- Versatile Connectivity for a Wide
Range of Applications
The 02R96 rear panel provides 16 microphone/line inputs with
balanced XLR/TRS jacks that feature top-performance head amplifiers
for outstanding audio quality. These inputs also offer insert I/O
jacks with bypass switches, and individual phantom power switches.
There are five 2-track inputs: two analog and three digital with
built-in sample rate converters. All analog inputs and outputs
employ precision 24-bit, 96-kHz converters. Eight versatile "omni"
outputs can be used for stereo or surround monitoring. One AES/EBU
format digital stereo output and two coaxial digital stereo outputs
provide a total of three digital outs for broad connectivity.
- Four I/O Expansion Slot for Easy
Expansion in a Variety of Formats
Each of four Mini-YGDAI (Yamaha General Digital Audio Interface)
expansion card slots support up to 16 additional channels of digital
I/O in AES/EBU, ADAT or TASCAM format, as well as a range of other
interface cards including double-speed 96 kHz (AES/EBU) digital I/O
cards, 96-kHz compatible AD/DA cards, and a range of analog I/O
cards. The 02R96 expansion slot also accepts various Mini-YGDAI
compatible cards available from third parties.
- Comprehensive Interface with
Touch-sensitive 100-mm Motor Faders
24 faders provide access to the console's 56 input channels in three
layers: 1 through 24, 25 through 48, and 49 through 56 plus master.
Add the stereo master and you have a total of 25 top-quality
100-millimeter motor faders with high 8-bit/256-step resolution. The
bus and auxiliary faders are provided in another layer, and a
"remote" layer is provided for external device control. A Fader Mode
key additionally allows the auxiliary send levels to be assigned to
the faders. The rotary encoder and switch associated with each fader
can be switched to any of four modes via the Encoder Mode key. The
encoders can be used for panning or auxiliary send, as well any two
functions you assign. You could assign input patching or direct out
assignments to the encoders to allow fast, efficient setup in your
specific work environment.
- Scene Memory and Automix Functions
for Efficient Workflow
The 02R96 features automix capability with 1/4-frame resolution,
allowing full automation of parameters right down to the internal
effects. Automix functions can be assigned to the User Defined Keys
for easy access. Scene memories allow fade times and recall safe
settings to be specified independently for each channel, while
recall safe can even be specified at the function level. The
supplied 02R96 Editor that runs on the Studio Manager application
can be used to manage scene and automix data on your personal
computer.
- Versatile Pairing and Grouping
Functions Enhance Mixing Efficiency
In addition to "horizontal pairing" of adjacent channels, the 02R96
allows "vertical pairing" of channels on different layers so that,
for example, you can control up to 24 stereo sources from a single
layer. Grouping functions include the familiar fader and mute
grouping, as well as sophisticated EQ and dynamics grouping. The
latter can be a great advantage when mixing surround sound.
- 02R96 Editor Software Supplied
The 02R96 comes supplied with an advanced 02R96 Editor application
for Windows or Mac computers. The 02R96 connects to your computer
via the TO HOST interface (USB or RS232), creating a production
environment that goes beyond simple parameter viewers. The Console
Window, Selected Channel Module, Surround Editor, Patch Editor,
Effect Editor, Timecode Counter Window, GEQ Editor, and Library
Window can be accessed via the computer's expansive color display,
and the main mixer functions can be edited offline. Memory
management functions allow 02R96 data to be transferred to and from
the computer where it can be managed and even shared via LAN or the
Internet.
- Sophisticated DAW or Digital
Recorder Integration
In addition to its extensive stand-alone capabilities the 02R96 can
integrate with your computer-based DAW (Digital Audio Workstation)
or digital recorder to create an advanced digital production
environment. The 02R96 can function as a physical controller for
both recorder and mixer sections of your DAW. The standard library
includes control compatibility with Digidesign Pro Tools® and
Steinberg NUENDO® workstations, and the General DAW mode supports a
range of other DAW systems. MIDI control tables can also be created
to provide functionality with MIDI-compatible DAW systems.
- An Ideal Platform for Surround
Production
Surround panning was originally provided on the 02R and 03D, but the
02R96 goes much further with a comprehensive range of features for
surround production. The Bus to Stereo function makes it easy to
downmix 5.1 or 3-1 surround sources to stereo, and the 3-1 output
can be connected via Dolby Surround or DTS stereo encoders back to
an 02R96 slot input to allow real-time comparison between the
encoded and pre-encoded sound. A panning joystick is provided in the
Selected Channel control section to facilitate complex panning moves
and trace specified panning patterns. Surround panning features 127
x 127 resolution, and divergence control is possible in 0 ~ 100
steps. Surround-compatible effects in up to 8-in/8-out
configurations include 5.1 reverb, modulation, and dynamics. EQ and
dynamics grouping is another feature that can be a great advantage
for surround production.
- Enhanced Surround Monitoring
Environment Includes Bass Management
The 02R96 monitor section provides facilities for muting individual
buses (speakers), centralized level control of all monitor outputs,
stem mix monitoring, and real-time comparison between the encoded
and pre-encoded Dolby Surround or DTS stereo sound. Downmix
processing allows 5.1 to 3-1, 5.1 to stereo, or 3-1 to stereo
monitoring without affecting the signal sent to the recorder. A
Speaker Control function allows fine control of the monitoring
environment to match the program material you are mixing as well as
your working environment. All of the top-line DM2000 console's
surround features have been implemented in the 02R96, including bass
management, attenuators for precise speaker level control, and delay
for "virtual speaker repositioning".
